Update to Cybersecurity Education

Principal Investigator: Gene Spafford

There is a critical need for trained cybersecurity professionals, especially for cleared positions.  The experience and knowledge needed for these individuals is usually beyond that presented in a typical undergraduate degree program.   This effort will explore how to build out a comprehensive 4+1 program to produce clearable, well-educated graduates who can immediately have impact in their places of employment.

 We will examine how to combine and update current Purdue courses to best meet the need.
